Soli Deo Gloria

Upcoming Conference: Our Summer 2018 conferencewill be held on the Mequon campus of Concordia University Wisconsin on June 29 and 30, Friday and Saturday. The topic is theistic evolution. We may once again hold a "creation basics" day at the start of the conference for those who are new to the creation movement.

Introduction

The Society of Creation was founded in August 2011. We were originally an organization of full-time faculty in various academic disciplines who teach at most of the ten institutions of the Concordia University System (CUS). Since then we have expanded our reach. We also welcome members who support our mission but are not CUS faculty. You don't need to be a faculty member to join us.

Our goals include support of the historic position of The Lutheran Church--Missouri Synodon creation, encouragement of the same, and education. This includes people of all denominations and walks of life. Our charter states, "To provide support, education, affirmation, and encouragement for those who teach the historic position of the LCMS on the doctrine of creation and to affirm the biblical position on creation." We do not take positions on other issues, relevant though they may be.

The photos on the left and above were taken in (left) or near (above) the Grand Canyon in July of 2012. The Grand Canyon contains much evidence for the worldwide flood of Noah, but also much beauty. Those who hold to a worldwide flood, as described in Genesis 6-9 almost always understand the creation story in Genesis 1 as a straightforward account.

"I support the mission of the Society of Creation." Dr. Dean Wenthe, President, Concordia University System

“The Concordia University Ann Arbor Campus reaffirms our commitment to the Biblical truths about creation, proudly dating to the support of our first president Dr. Paul Zimmerman, in the work of the Society of Creation and the Creation Research Society."Dr. Curt Gielow, Campus Chief Executive, Concordia University Ann Arbor

"Posterity will marvel that so very flimsy and dubious an hypothesis could be accepted with the incredible credulity that it has" (Malcolm Muggeridge on the theory of evolution, The End of Christendom, p. 59).
